Conure

/ˈkɒnjʊər/ noun

Definition

A type of small to medium-sized parrot found in Central and South America, known for being colorful and often kept as pets.

Etymology

From French 'conure', derived from Latin 'conurus', ultimately from Greek 'konos' (cone) referring to the bird's cone-shaped head or beak shape.

Kelly Says

Green-winged conures can live 30+ years and recognize individual humans—they're so smart they sometimes learn to open locked cages, making them escape artists of the bird world!
